STEP 10: MAINTAIN MOMENTUM
Ongoing company and member support is vital to success. The ownership for
maintaining the momentum resides with the entire group, including the
Executive Sponsor.
The following tips may be used to maximize efficacy and ensure continued
momentum:
Establish credibility by adhering to mission, objectives, and timelines.
Communicate the group’s efforts utilizing all internal resources.
Continue building a network to increase enrollment.
Create visibility by conducting or participating in special events.
Respond to challenges and remove obstacles.
Suggested activities that may help to maintain momentum and sustainability
can include:
In-house networking events.
Workshops on topics related to the program (e.g., Lunch & Learn seminars,
National Disability Employment Awareness Month celebrations, etc.).
Engagement with outside agencies (e.g., volunteering, mentoring, serving
on boards, etc.).
Monthly updates on program status.
Suggested in-house resources:
Company newsletters (related articles, tips)
Intranet
Notice boards
Email blasts and blogs
In-house T.V. streaming of the ERG’s upcoming events and event highlights
